TOLERATION. \Ye find the following touching and instructive narrative in a letter from Natchez, published in t he •* 1 I know a tale of truth and feeling, worth ten thousand homilies of bitter denunciation. Near the beautiful parsonage of the Presbyterian church j n Natchez, resides a Catholic family, whose beau tiful little daughter, playing in the streets, had of ,-i attracted the attention and caresses of the ‘imiable and eloquent minister. She was “ pass im fair,” but like the fairest flowers of earth, to an early death. She sickened, and as t j lC CO IJ hand of dissolution pressed heavily upon j ier> the king of terrors paused awhile, until the painter had spread her cherub features upon the canvass, upon which, now, and for years to come, • , and will be, seen those lineaments of pure and perfect beauty • 1 ‘p| ie funeral hour came, and the accomplished mother poured out her heart-broken sorrows. A ] assembly all of the Catholic religion, filled Ihe rooms in deep silence. The Presbyterian minister, all pale with sorrow, entered the room, uninvited, w here the sweet girl lay in stale, cold as the snow on Greenland’s cliff; betaking no notice of any human being around, bowed over the dead child, and for fifteen minutes bung over the lovely and inanimate form in a speechless a rrony of sorrow. He then retired, to a seat, without noticing any individual present. The scene had caused a tempest of tears; not a dry eve was to be seen in the assembly, and choking and suffocating sobs rung the rooms made holy and solemn by death. The pure-souled and elo quent Blenkinsop rose to read the rituals of Christ’s eldest church on earth over the dead.— Stratton rose with him, and there they stood, side by side, over the inanimate but most lovely clay —the disciple of Lavola and Luther, heart to heart and hand to hand, in the ritual of the grave. Together they entered the funeral carriage : to aether they saw the translated one laid in ihe grave ; and as they parted, they looked deep into each other’s eyes, as if determined to know each other again when they met in heaven.

SABBATH DAY REFLECTIONS. If the Sabbath is given for our social and religious improve ment, it is important that we devote at least a little time every Sabbath day in contemplating the principles that govern us. Now, Mr. Editor, if you think it will be of any use, or inter-, esting to your readers, or to the world, I am willing to place on paper some of my thoughts on such occasions. Sunday, September 30, 1849, Why is it that selfishness appears to be the maiu spring to all my actions ? Auswer: No one can help desiring another to become like himself. At first thought, this seems like an assertion from which many may justly dissent. But in ex amining the constitution of the human mind, it seems to be a component part of every intelligent being. It is a desire im planted in every human breast, from the first man, Adanq down to the present, and will continue to be reproduced through all coining time. It is the result of man’s being crea ted in the image of God, and God in so creating me has plainly manifested his desire that 1 should be like himself. Hence comes the origin of this high and holy love. Holy in itself considered, and only evil when perverted and used for bad purposes. Laid deep in the foundation of my being—given that I may be useful to others, and render blessed my socia] sphere. Oh! how often have I abused thee and strayed from the straight path of truth and duty. But thanks be to God, abuse cannot annihilate a single principle of my mind. Can I doubt the correctness of this view? “Follow us (says an Apostle) as we follow Christ.” Let all my aspirations be to do unto others us I wouldhave others do unto me. This is the right kind of selfishness, and if all men would practice it, even this life would be a heaven on earth. Man may efface from his 9oul the likeness of God, but his image never. Upon this last hangs all our hopes of immortality. It is the Christian’s hope of heaven ; it is the sinner’s just dread of hell, for all the vilest spirits there seek to make others like themselves. If we believe in a heaven and a hell, we must believe that all the powers of the one are exerted to make us better, while tho other are doing all they can to make us worse than we are. This sort of equilibrium in which we are, gives us the power to do either good or ill, either to obey the command ments or to violate them. Turn which way we will, the above asserted principle will be active in us. Thus may be seen the main-spring to all our actions, either social, political, or religiJtis. llow essential then it is that we cultivate a desire to be good, in order that we may rightly and pleasantly exercise our powers of doing good. Attaining this, we may expect to meet all the ills of life with a smile, and at last lie down our heads in peace. NEIGHBOR.
